"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

Who am I?

I am a 32-year-old, bilingual fifth-generation entrepreneur from Helsinki. My immediate family consists of my parents, two siblings, my partner, and our dogs.

I attended both high school and university in the United States. During my studies, I competed in Olympic rowing, and sports remain an important part of my life. After graduating from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, I completed my military service on the Finnish Navy's Reserve Officer Course 174 at Suomenlinna, where I served as chair of the student council.

From 2019 to 2024, I worked in the real estate sector in Helsinki and Stockholm. I am currently pursuing an MBA at Aalto University and running my own company Rewell & Partners.

During the 2025–2029 council term, I serve as a Deputy City Councillor in Helsinki and as Chair of the Board of Heka, Finland's largest residential property company. I am also a Board Member of the League of Finnish-American Societies.

What do I stand for? 

I believe that a strong economy creates the foundation for well-being in our society. Hardworking citizens must have the opportunity to succeed, build wealth, and create the life they desire in Finland. However, the outcome of one's life is not always a reflection of their personal effort, which is why we must care for those who are less fortunate in our society. At the same time, I emphasise the importance of individuals taking responsibility for their own choices.

My Helsinki is an international capital where equality of opportunity prevails, and where everyone is free to be themselves. The education, physical activity, and mental well-being of our children and youngsters are issues close to my heart. I want to build a city filled with exciting opportunities where entrepreneurs of all sizes can succeed.
